              ID cards for foreigners from 25 November
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
The UK Border Agency has given a start date to compulsory identity cards, for foreign nationals applying to stay in the country as students or through marriage From 25 November, applicants from outside the European Economic Area in these two categories will have to travel to one of six centres to enrol in the National Identity Scheme, which will include having their fingerprints and a photograph taken. However, employers checking whether they can give a card holder a job will not check fingerprints, and initially neither will border control staff. Instead, employers will check cards visually. The UK Border Agency will provide organisations with a telephone Employers Verification Service, to use if they have concerns over a card’s validity. A holder’s ability to take up work, to study or to claim benefits will be marked on the card in its ‘remarks’ section. Philippe Martin, a senior analyst at Kable, said that non-EEA nationals already need a visa to work or study, and the card will work in the same way. “It’s just a renaming,” he said of the move. “Now they have a visa, and in future they will have an identity card.” The Home Office said that the process has been tested on 10,000 foreign nationals applying in either the student or marriage and civil partnership categories during a three month pilot. Foreigners from outside the EEA countries who are not in the two chosen categories will continue to receive a vignette in their passport for the time being. A document released by the UK Border Agency in August said that by 2010, only 10% of non-European foreigners will have identity cards, although this will rise to 30% by 2010 and 90% by 2014-15.

Biometric will not work where there is no reading equipment and hence these cards will not effective in deterring fraudsters.
Following details show that fraud crimes will get worse until banks make signature and PIN systems reliable as proposed.
Fraud crimes will get worse until banks make signature and PIN systems reliable as proposed on website http://www.xwave.co.uk
Why would anyone get tempted to do identity fraud when they know that their signature personalised with their ID sticker will expose their identity? Current signature system does not even expose person’s gender and so boosts identity fraud. Only this system will deter use of fake documents.
Why would anyone get tempted to use stolen or skimmed cards when they know that they will not be able to activate the transaction without new security code which will change to a new value after every transaction?
This system will also eliminate the need for us to protect our personal an card details since fraudsters will not be tempted to misuse these stolen details.
Organisations would make their customers personalise signatures by letting them use mobile phone size device which will capture image and activate printer to print their ID sticker virtually instantly.
Proposed system will deter virtually all fraud crimes including those Chip and PIN, data protection and even biometric ID cards will not deter.
This KEY and PIN system could be treated like international ID card since it will personalise signature and PIN to the right individual in any country in the world.
To make the government and banks exploit proposed system media could help them by debating use of both these systems with the public.
